The Oakland Raiders have hired former New York Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano as their assistant head coach/offensive line.

The hiring was announced Wednesday by head coach Dennis Allen.

Sparano, who was fired as the Jets' offensive coordinator after one season, had earlier interviewed to become the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line coach. Andy Reid had said the interview went well, but he ultimately hired Andy Heck for the position.

Talk about living the good life?.. I think technicaly he's getting paid by three teams this season!..

Not sure how coaches contracts work for gaurenteed money or buyouts but he still had years left on the Dolphins and the Jets contracts and now signs a new one with the Raiders...

Haha more power to him I guess...

I agree. Say what you want but the way he was let go here if I were him I would collect every penny Ross owes him. Also collecting every penny from the Jets is like combat pay. Spending a season with those clowns he earned that as well. Hopefully he does well in Oakland. Was not a great head coach obviously (except his first season when we all thought we found Shula 2) but he is a decent guy.
